As far as I can tell, Tim Ferriss' only business is selling something called BrainQUICKEN, a supplement which promises to "increase the speed of neural transmission and information processing". The BrainQUICKEN website reads like a manual on shady salesmanship.
So I guess my question is "When did snake oil become high tech?"
I love his book, it is full of inspiration. I have read it twice and highly recommend.
this guy is a fraud. no evidence to back up most of his outlandish claims. yah right, MMA champ and kickboxing champ, trains olympic atheletes -- i suppose because he says it on his blog, so it must be true? where's the proof? the truth will prevail and conmen will go to jail.
Despite the aforementioned criticisms of Tim's claims, his message is powerful, and we must not forget that.
Who cares where he is coming from as long as he can engage us with his very real, possibly lifechanging philosophies? How could you argue against optimizing your life?
My advice: sift through the blatant self promotion and concentrate on what's important.
